Chapter 376: The Last Section of the Strong Team
The Hornets were eliminated, and Jeremy Lin's fans were sad.
In contrast, Zhang Xiaotian's fans may be the happiest in the world, winning the championship three times in three years, and this year he followed the team to the highest peak.
Returning to the Raptors and Pacers, this matchup is much more intense than that of the Heat Hornets.
The Raptors scored only 11 points in the final quarter, but still won the game to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Nothing else, DeRozan hung up, he scored 30 points to beat Paul George's 26 points, the playoffs are the world of stars, as long as the Raptors play their strength, the Pacers can't win, after all, the Raptors have a stronger lineup.
At this point, the final group of the second round of the playoffs finally appeared.
In the Western Conference semifinals, the Spurs vs. the Thunder have started the second game at this time, and this game is completely different from the last game, and the two teams are playing extremely fiercely.
With the strength of both sides, it is normal to fight fiercely.
Leonard, who played well on the court, was targeted defensively, Leonard was definitely the top on the defensive end, but he was still a little worse on the offensive end, and his scoring efficiency was much lower after the Thunder's defensive adjustment.
However, Aldridge still performed, but the Thunder returned to normal, Westbrook and Durant combined for 57 points to break through the Spurs' defense, and Adams' performance of 17 rebounds also put the Spurs at a disadvantage inside.
In fact, the Spurs had a chance, and in the last 4 minutes, Ade scored 13 points in a row, and the Spurs were only 1 point away.
At the last moment, Danny Green made a successful steal, but unfortunately the Spurs' last shot missed, and the Thunder narrowly won by 1 point.
The GDP is old, and the Spurs are now without a last-minute scorer.
In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Cavaliers vs. Hawks also started on the same day.
Like the Warriors, the Cavaliers built a double-digit lead in the first quarter.
Talent is greatness, and although this Lefu did not feel good, James and Irving still teamed up to break down the Hawks' defense.
It's just that they are not as neat as the Warriors, and they let the Hawks fight back in the second half, shocking the home fans in a cold sweat.
Of course, the Hawks are also a little more difficult to play against than the Trail Blazers, and they may not have the offensive individual players of Lillard's, but the team offense is obviously more difficult to defend.
In the end, though, it was the stronger knights who emerged victorious.
On May 3, Game 2 between the Warriors and Trail Blazers continued at the Oakland Arena.
The opponent's three-point opening game started with Aminu, followed by a double shot.
In contrast, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green's three-pointers were back-to-back.
It's normal to strike iron, and athletes can't feel good all the time, the key is the ability to adjust.
With the Trail Blazers taking a double-digit advantage, teammates didn't let Zhang Xiaotian fight alone, and Iguodala, who was slackly agile on the offensive end, came off the bench and performed well.
In the second quarter, relying on the play of the two, the Warriors narrowed the score gap to double digits.
The first half was led by the Trail Blazers, and in addition to the Warriors' lack of touch, there were also problems with defense.
At half-time, the team rearranged their defence.
Aminu is absolutely defensive about this, he has also broken out in the previous series, this player is also a big heart, and he is more active than the regular season when he arrives in the playoffs.
Draymond Green was certainly able to limit the opposition and was just negligent in the first half.
Zhang Xiaotian will definitely be able to fight at this point, but now he can't go against the sky, if the outside line of the warriors is not opened, it is not impossible to capsize in the gutter.
But Klay Thompson returned to normal in the second half, and while he wasn't as good at adjusting as Curry, he wasn't a role player to match.
Star players are confident, and the coach will also give opportunities, plus Zhang Xiaotian's skill bonus, Klay Thompson hit two three-pointers early in the third quarter.
Zhang Xiaotian is still stable, his scoring touch is now very rich, the Trailblazers' defensive ability is not strong, he can shoot suddenly, and he can also use his body to eat.
Harkless's defense is also very hard, but his body is a little thinner, Zhang Xiaotian and James have been teammates for two years, and they have learned a lot of tricks to bully people with their bodies.
However, Lillard played well in this quarter, and the Trail Blazers still held the lead.
The Warriors are not in a hurry, they rest when they need to rest, and rotate when they should rotate.
Well, the main players still had a few minutes less rest than they did in the regular season.
The fourth section, Zhang Xiaotian's time.
As soon as he got on the field, he forced it to play 2+1, and then made a steal and successfully scored a fast attack, and then passed to his teammates twice in a row to help the team catch up with the score.
It's not that the Trailblazers don't want to do anything, but after the bag, Zhang Xiaotian passed the ball out and the Warriors' teammates hit, obviously they have been leading, but they are a little panicked not to score at this time.
The point is that Lillard is not allowed at this time, but fortunately, C.J. McRum is still normal.
The Trail Blazers resisted for four minutes, and by the time the Warriors brought Klay Thompson on the court, their defense collapsed.
After Klay Thompson took a three-pointer to take the lead, the Warriors quickly took control.
The Trail Blazers' good situation overturned, and the players on the court suddenly didn't know how to play.
When you don't know, of course, it's the stars who solve the problem.
It's just that whether it is Lillard or C.J. McRum, at this time, the outside players who are weak under the defense of the Warriors and rely on their hands to eat, unless they reach the level of unreasonableness like Curry, they will be a little helpless at the critical moment.
If you want to ignore the defense at the critical moment, it is not enough to just shoot the basket head-on, what is the back hit, what breaks through to hang someone to the basket, what ignores the defense and pulls it out, there are few outstanding skills, and it is not easy to mix in the second round of the playoffs.
In the second half, the Warriors radiated with Zhang Xiaotian and Klay Thompson, playing a smooth offensive multi-point flower, while the Trail Blazers were locked in.
All of a sudden, the score was completely reversed, and the Warriors completed the reversal to a double-digit lead in a matter of minutes, and the big picture was decided.
29+7+6, in addition to 3 steals, Zhang Xiaotian once again handed over comprehensive data.
"He's and Klay both very good players, they dominated the game at the last minute, and we have four All-Stars on the team, so I told Stephen not to rush back." Cole is a serious outfit after the race.
Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stoutes lamented, "We had a chance to grab home-court advantage, but we didn't make it to the end, and when we go back to Portland, we won't make that mistake again." ”
Zhang Xiaotian said, "To win every game is to do it." ”
The team has three days off before going to the Trail Blazers' home court, which is a good thing for the Warriors, and Curry will be stronger when he returns.
